All Might Makes All Right | Psalm 75

Jealousy & God's Judgement | Psalm 73

When we see the wicked prospering, what are we to do? Psalm 73 tells us to see God in his sanctuary. There we see that our God holds us tightly when we are despairing and that our God will judge the wicked. Since Jesus became our sanctuary, we are to hope in him forever.

Forget Not That the Lord Is Judge | Psalm 50

This summer we will look at the "Psalms of Asaph." One of the recurring themes is trusting in God for his just judgments. Today we start with a very basic, but important, lesson -- remember that the Lord is Judge. In particular, we need to see how Jesus was judged for us and how his grace to us leads us to live for him.

Fighting for God, but... | 1 Samuel 31:1-13

Saul's taking his life in battle (1 Samuel 31) certainly is a somber, if not disturbing, passage. It is a picture of what happens when one lives only for him/herself. Yet, it leads us to see the ultimate life that is found in the Lord Jesus Christ. This hope in Christ leads us to say, "For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

Seeking God's will, but... | 1 Samuel 28:3-25

Sermon Points:
1. Why we don't repent
2. Why we need to repent
3. How we are to repent

The Rejected Stone | Mark 12:1-12

We would never say we hate God, but that actually is a good definition of sin. Sin is more than actions against God; it is an attitude, disposition, heart against God. In Mark 12:1-12 Jesus tells the "Parable of the Tenants" and teaches us to see the sinfulness of sin and what it means to make Jesus your one, true foundation in life.

Out With the Old, In With the New | Mark 11:12-26

In Mark 11:12-25, we see Jesus curse a fig tree. That seems odd to us, but it teaches us how Jesus' new kingdom is radically better than the old. It is the difference of living in freedom under the Spirit versus living in slavery under the Law. Listen and find out how to enter that new kingdom and experience its freedom.
